Ocean Alexander, a Canadian manufacturer with roots in Taiwan and production facilities aligned with North American charter requirements, builds semi-custom motor yachts in the 30 to 50-metre range. Their flybridge and enclosed-bridge models are popular charter vessels for their combination of spacious deck areas, practical interior layouts, and reliability in trade-wind conditions. In the Exumas, Ocean Alexander yachts anchor comfortably at most cays in the central chain, and their draft suits the sandy-bottomed anchorages between Staniel Cay and Compass Cay without the caution required by deeper-keeled vessels. Charter weeks from December through April run four vessels currently in the region, with professional crews of four to eight providing attentive but informal service suited to family charters and smaller groups. Weekly rates start from around 35,000 euros for a 30-metre vessel and reach 80,000 euros for the larger flybridge models. The advance provisioning allowance of 30 percent covers fuel, provisions from Nassau wholesalers and local fish markets, marina fees at Staniel Cay Yacht Club or Compass Cay, and bar stock. Ocean Alexander charters offer a relaxed, value-conscious approach to the Exumas, with a focus on water activities, fresh seafood, and moving through the cays at a pace that allows exploration rather than transit.
